History

The Wright family was first introduced to the automotive business in 1947, after WWII, when Carl Wright began working at McDavid Motors (FORD STORE) in Nokomis, IL. He started as a parts counterperson, but gradually worked his way to become one of the owners. He joined a partnership with four other men, who all became well known in the business and the community. Carl worked well into his 70's before technology and the sales process became too complex for his abilities. At that time, Carl turned all of his customers over to his son Ron. Ron ran the dealership alone until his son Andrew was old enough to work alongside him. Andrew worked side by side with his father for many years until Ron's passing. The company that has been passed down for decades and generations of Fathers and Sons. Andrew is now the General Manager, keeping in mind the standards on which the company was founded.
